Lift and induced drag...
Well, I do know how lift works. But, when an aeroplane climbs, it is producing more lift to get up there. And in cruise lift equals weight. So, in descent you'd expect it to be producing less lift. Which it is??? Is that right?
Then why is there more induced drag at higher angles of attack and descent with flaps out?
I know the flaps are there to produce more lift at slower speeds and that they do produce a hell-load of drag...
Thanks if you can answer this one... ...Properly
